How the vase looked before upcycling with chalk paint and baking soda. You can take an ugly thrift store vase and turn it into a gorgeous restoration hardware or pottery barn dupe.

The final result is a beautiful statement piece with a textured matte finish with an aged look.

1

Spray the floor vase with one coat of primer. Make sure to do this outside, and don't forget to wear a breathing mask.

Mix chalk paint with baking soda. Once the paint has enough texture and is not too dry, start painting it onto the vase.

2

Mix up some of the lighter chalk paint with some baking soda. Randomly brush on the second color to create an uneven texture.

3

Scrunch up a rag and dip it into the white paint. Dab some of the paint onto a piece of cardboard first. Dab the scrunched rag randomly all over the vase.

4

Lastly, dab dark wax onto the textured vase. Use a circular motion to spread the wax and give it a smudged look.
